<h1>Select Target</h1>
The second step is the selection of a target drive. Pick <i>Target
 Selection</i> from the <i>Image</i> submenu

You can see a list with up to ten physical drives currently attached
 to your PC. <b>DskImg</b> automatically retrieves these data when
 it is started (stored in <i>data\00000001</i>). The columns show the
 name, media type, cylinders (tracks for floppies), heads, sectors,
 sector size and capacity of each drive. Media type can be one of
 these:
<ul>
 <li>5.25/1.2M various floppy disk formats</li>
 <li>[x] fixed drives</li></li>
 <li>|-> removable drives</li>
 <li>??? unknown media</li>
</ul>

When the dialog pops up, the topmost radio button is selected per
 default, but the 'selected' drive is set to invalid until you really
 select a drive (just push one of those radio buttons). If you push
 <i>Abort</i>, the selected drive is set to invalid and the <i>target
 present</i> flag is reset. Push <i>Select</i> to choose the selected
 target drive and set the <i>target present</i> flag.

<b>Note:</b> You cannot write an image if no target is selected.

<h3>Advice</h3>
Do yourself a favour and leave your hands off of fixed disks. It is no
 good idea to select a non-removable harddisk as target. If the HD has
 more than one partition, it is very likely that <b>DskImg</b> cannot
 write to the drive, because it only unmounts and locks the physical
 drive, while logical volumes residing on that drive still are mounted
 and unlocked. Moreover, you risk to lose all data stored on the drive
 if <b>DskImg</b> succeeds and writes the image. Consider to 'sacrifice'
 a thumb drive with no important data on it...
